A570 RAM Expansion

BinoX · 13 September 2007, 18:44

Just thought I'd let you know, if anyone is thinking about it...

I got a 2MB Fast RAM expansion for the A570 through the mail today from Nicolas Welte. He's a nice, friendly guy and kept in contact while it was being prepared...

So if anyone out there has an A570 and wanted some Fast RAM put in, I'd highly reccomend this product.

Excellent product

Edit:

If you want one, you have to email him. The address can be found on his site: http://x1541.de/
Also: Direct link to his own info page: http://freenet-homepage.de/x1541/hardware/a570ram.html

Oo, oo, want one...

A500 + A570 + WHDload = Not enough RAM

Very nice. If I had an A570 I would buy one.

adolescent · 14 September 2007, 04:01

Very nice. Does the RAM show up as normal Fast RAM? Is it autoconfigure?

lol.. I guess there wouldn't be.. Although personally I just bought it because it was there.. Don't use the A570 too much to be honest, since I have a CDTV to do that.. Although it is nice to have CD access on the 500

Yes, shows up as normal fast RAM. And yes it does autoconfig. (The RAM controller itself is actually already on the A570, the board is basically just memory chips on a connector with the signals going to the right places.

It cost 25 Euros plus postage... which I didn't think was too bad

25Euros for 2Mb fast ram for the 500 is great assuming you got the A570 of course

alexh · 31 October 2007, 17:07

I ordered one on the 13th September, paid via PayPal and am still waiting.

The guy has done a little disappearing act, not replying to emails etc.

Hopefully he's just busy but I thought I should follow up here.

CRAZG · 01 November 2007, 16:09

Want one

alexh · 01 November 2007, 16:51

It turned out he was just busy. I'll update when it gets here.

BinoX · 01 November 2007, 17:10

Yeah, he did take a bit of a while with mine too, but he builds them to order.. He's actually a really nice, genuine guy from my experience

alexh · 26 November 2007, 19:46

Mine is still not here after 2.5 months.

If you are thinking of getting one, it might be wise to get a date up front for delivery before handing over your cash.

You cant really go elsewhere and I am sure he's a "good guy" but just overworked.

BinoX · 27 November 2007, 10:30

Have you e-mailed him? He usually responds within 2 or 3 days and will tell u how far he's got

Of course.

TjLaZer · 03 January 2008, 07:13

Did you get it?? I want one but dont know if I want to wait 5 months to get it!!

alexh · 03 January 2008, 09:49

It arrived a week or two before xmas. So perhaps 2-3 months.

It turned out he'd run out of RAM chips / had used the wrong ones.

Damn glad I insisted he test it.

TjLaZer · 18 January 2008, 05:31

I ordered one and it came within 2 weeks of paying! Excellent service...

alexh · 18 January 2008, 10:40

Unfortunately I'm suffering from the same symptoms of WHDload problems that have been seen on the CDTV. Only games that will preload into 4Mbytes (2Mbyte Chip + 2Mbyte Fast) work

BinoX · 18 January 2008, 14:43

Don't use my A500 or CDTV as a WHDLoad machine, so dunno about that..

May give it a try in a day or 2 though

This is the beta with the CDTV CMD_STOP in it.
